Rob, is there a chance he could have been 5'6" or somewhere near that?

5'5 is a better listing.

Another great downgrade Rob! The man was kinda short and loved his heels...

Sam said on 5/Jul/11
What constituted the downgrade from 5'6", Rob? A quote?

[Editor Rob: I'm not sure.]

That sounds about right. Although I wouldn't say the Chilli Peppers consists of short musicians. Average height for white males in the US is Anywhere from 5'8" to 5'11".

If you add all their heights together and divide it by 4 it comes out to 5'9.5". That's how averages are done. So in at least two senses, they're a band of "average" height. 2 of them members are within the average, and if you add and divide the height you get is average.

So basically, the human average is: "Takes all kinds".

Anyway, back on point: James Brown is a badass, and he'd look kind of silly doing what he does at 6'2". The man was three pints of pure power!

I met him in 1983 when he was in Chicago and he visited the Bank where I worked. I'm 5'10" as I was then. He was no more than 5'8". Can't remember if his shoes had heavy heels. Very quiet spoken guy for such a powerful singer.

Look out a man shot shot a man in Alabama after they got in an arguement over JB's height.

Damn! A real pity. James Brown was great.

Rest in peace, James. You were great 2004 in your Hamburg Open Air concert.
Have fun with Otis, Wilson, Elvis, Buddy, Roy and the other legends that you were during your lifetime. Marco
